Visiting Dallas downtown - Very clear instructions, informative, and entertaining.
Just the right length.
The 15 second rewind didn't work for me.

Well done - The tour was full of information and guided me along very well. I would have taken lots of pictures. Unfortunately, it was 111 degrees and my phone became too hot for the camera to work. I would do it all again on a cooler day. I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type if experience

Will recommend. - I'll rate this experience as 5 stars. Because, along the way, I discovered a few things I didn't know about the city; and it let me visit other venues. It will be nice if the app gave hints about parking slots close, as much as possible, to the start point.

Well produced must-do audio tour - With only 24 hours in the city the WalkNTours audio tour of downtown covering the history of Dallas and JFK assassination is incredible value! The production and location awareness is really well done and packed full of interesting info. It was perfect for us to have the apps open side by side and we were stitched throughout the whole experience. We enjoyed the app so much we booked another WalkNTour the following week in Key West. Please do more!!

Dissapointed - The on-phone narrator could not locate where we were. We ended up entering the arched start and going round in circles upto the tram / railroad. We decided to switch off the whole app and explore by ourselves . We got a better experience taking random walks around the park.
